Dan,
Did you consider NFS (with symlinks), or any other file-system-linkage 
that's transparent to the application, instead of a different URL?
We do have an instance with some +250.000 media-files living on a 
different server (via NFS), which works fine so far;

BTW: even if NFS is no option, I'd go the route of virtual mounts / 
file-systems - there are quite some interesting ones especially in the 
area of cloud-computing / storage (like amazon and others do);
